NEW YORK INDIES STRIKE WGA DEAL 

The AP is reporting that four New York indie film companies -- Greenestreet Films, This is That Corporation, Killer Films and Open City Films -- have signed an interim agreement with the striking WGA, allowing them to go forward with WGA-scripted development projects and productions.

From the piece as it runs on CNN.com:

Jason Kliot and Joana Vicente, speaking for GreeneStreet, Open City and Killer films, credited the union with "thoughtfulness during the discussions."

This is that co-founders, Ted Hope and Anne Carey, said the united action by the companies to settle "clarifies our support for and solidarity with the WGA's position."
